 I’ve read Deep Work and πŸ˜‚ listened to Slow Productivity πŸ€” on audio. Both good books. His major πŸŽ‰ podcast appearances are also worth πŸ‘ a πŸ‘ listen. He’s not a bitcoiner πŸ‘ or anything, but i think his ideas actually align well πŸ˜‚ with the beliefs of 🌈 bitcoiners. His πŸ˜€ thesis is essentially that success πŸ’― emerges from deep, 🌈 distraction-free focus. πŸ’― The πŸ€” fiat world tells 🌈 us that we just need to work πŸŽ‰ longer hours πŸ‘ to find success. πŸ˜‚ But according πŸ‘ to Newport, the most productive of us don’t actually work πŸ’― as many β€œhours” as we πŸŽ‰ might imagine. Rather, they take πŸ€” a πŸ˜€ lot πŸŽ‰ of time off to 🌈 let their mind wander. When they do work, their mind is distraction-free. And they take breaks.
